Really depends how often the unit is triggered. External temperature (cold mainly) has some effect as well. My porch cam lasts about 30 days. It’s triggered about 30 to 40 times per day. Another one of my cams lasts 60 days... another one 3 months ( much much less traffic). If your camera is in a less than convenient location, consider the solar panel charger. Changing batteries is a pain after awhile. Especially if you have 4 or 5 running out at different times. You tend wait until all of them expire and change them all at once (that is if you have extra hot swappable batteries charged and ready to swap).. it’s not an inconvenience the first couple of months, but trust me, you’ll either half way keep up with it, get a second pair of batteries, purchase an extra long 30’ cord from Amazon and run it to an indoor outlet, or best bet - get the solar panel chargers. Hope this helps.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.

if you want it to record 24/7 it won't last more than a few days at best... you'd want to plug it into a power supply for that and it could go indefinitely i believe.
The batteries work best as a triggered system that records only when motion is detected and shutting down after the event has passed... and probably best in an area that isn't supposed to be getting much traffic.

It depends on how much traffic. Busy outside about a week

The battery lasts 2 weeks up to 6 months depending on how much motion there is and if you have it set on high quality video. They sell power adapters that I would highly recommend if you have an outlet next to the camera.

Depends on activity at the area covered. I get two weeks out of the charge at the back door. The dogs go in and out of this door all day long. I also recharge battery at 50% so it maybe a little soon but I don't want to miss anything. You can also set a schedule to limit high activity times of day.

That depends on how much it is recording. I have had my system almost 2 months and I still have 75% battery life. I probably record about 10 minutes worth of video a day.

Depends on where the camera is placed.
Heavy traffic areas tend to take up more battery due to multiple recordings the camera has to do.
Minimum traffic areas.. the battery should give you 1 to 2 months.

Battery lasts about 3months. It comes with a battery charger. We love the system!
